Regional Language Policies in France During World War II PDF
by A. Amit
Part of the Palgrave Studies in Languages at War series
Description
Although the promotion of the French language was highly centralized, until World War II regional languages in France were able to survive as they helped maintain and assert 'little homeland' identities in their respective regions.
This became increasingly difficult during Germany's occupation of France in World War II, when the struggle to preserve regional languages and local identities rapidly became more overt and political.
This book offers a detailed historical sociolinguistic analysis of the various language policies applied in France's regions (Brittany, Southern France, Corsica and Alsace) before, during and after WWII, making it of particular interest to researchers of both language policy and French history.
